Check if EditText is empty. [closed]

Question

I have 5 EditTexts in android for users to input. I would like to know if I could have a method for checking all the 5 EditTexts if they are null. Is there any way to do this??

Answer 1

Other answers are correct but do it in a short way like

if(editText.getText().toString().isEmpty()) {
     // editText is empty
} else {
     // editText is not empty
}

Answer 2

private boolean hasContent(EditText et) {
       return (et.getText().toString().trim().length() > 0);
}

Answer 3

EditText txtUserID = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtUserID);

String UserID = txtUserID.getText().toString();

if (UserID.equals("")) 

{
    Log.d("value","null");
}

You will see the message in LogCat....

Answer 4

try this :

EditText txtUserName = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtUsername);
String strUserName = usernameEditText.getText().toString();
if (strUserName.trim().equals("")) {
    Toast.makeText(this, "plz enter your name ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    return;
}

or use the TextUtils class like this :

if(TextUtils.isEmpty(strUserName)) {
    Toast.makeText(this, "plz enter your name ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    return;
}

Answer 5

private boolean isEmpty(EditText etText) {
    if (etText.getText().toString().trim().length() > 0) 
        return false;

    return true;
}

OR As Per audrius

  private boolean isEmpty(EditText etText) {
        return etText.getText().toString().trim().length() == 0;
    }

If function return false means edittext is not empty and return true means edittext is empty...

Answer 6

Try this

TextUtils.isEmpty(editText.getText());
